It hurts me to write these words, because I started using Pentax SLR equipment almost 30 years ago and Pentax cameras accompany more than half of my live. And (at least in relation to my status as an amateur photographer with not much time for my hobby) I'm heavily invested into K-mount.
But with todays processing capabilities in modern cameras, the advantages of getting a live signal from the sensor are so obvious, I don't believe that Pentax can significantly improve autofocus with K3 MKIII, which is the most important limitation for me currently.
If you aren't a landscape photographer, nowadays you may just want to have eye detection, which isn't possible with SLR.
Metering is also much easier when you have proper object tracking in place...
And when I read those statements from Pentax status updates, full of marketing blah-blah.
ISO 1,600,000, seriously?
So let's see what they deliver, but I'm unfortunately well prepared for beeing not excited.
I barely dare to say it here in this forum: From time to time I take a look at Canon R6 reviews :-(
